Shruti Haasan's 'Aakasamlo Oka Tara' FIRST LOOK out on her birthday; 'Salaar' actress joins Dulquer Salmaan's next

Dulquer Salmaan’s upcoming Telugu film 'Aakasamlo Oka Tara' has enjoyed a low-key wave of positive anticipation ever since the movie’s teaser gave little hints of a heartwarming and breezy storyteller set against the backdrop of rural India.

With Pavan Sadineni as director, the film places a starry-eyed, naive girl with no aspirations beyond her village at its center, with the now-debuting Satvika Veeravalli playing the leading role. Dulquer Salmaan adds his own pan-Indian superstar touch to it, but the leading story terms of mentorship, striving, and dreams have been topping the bill and are being hailed as a delightful feel-good movie. The buzz around the film took a fresh turn recently, with the makers unveiling Shruti Haasan’s first look from the film, instantly shifting the spotlight.

Shruti Haasan’s striking first look

Shruti Haasan’s first look posters released on her birthday show her as a bold pioneering scientific teacher; casting a semi-dictatorial glare, albeit with a rebel tinge. Clad in a serious avatar complete with spectacles and a penetrating gaze, Shrutis raises a quizzical brow with an all-too-inquisitive expression. Messy hair coupled with assertive body language only spells out an extremely opinionated lady who, though abrasive, doesn’t have to be so loud just to be heard.

She is surrounded by smoke in one of the images, only portraying a plethora of shades and a lived-in life. The image is devoid of plasticity and brings forth her character as an extremely opinionated woman.

Shruti Haasan takes a key role

Reviewing Satvika Veeravalli's introduction video alongside the poster of Shruti Haasan will reveal a purposeful story. Satvika Veeravalli's character, the young girl from the remote village, is always told to keep her ambitions realistic.

As the character of Shruti appears to play the role of the catalyst, she urges other characters to look beyond the lines of targets. These are just some instances where Shrutis is chasing the sky, which is the target whatever she has in hand.

This mentor-student relationship serves as a narrative undercurrent for the movie 'Aakasamlo Oka Tara', symbolizing guidance and faith as much as dreams, with Shruti Haasan assuming a vital role in the way the viewers engage emotionally with the film.

'Aakasamlo Oka Tara' - A feel-good drama

With the entry of Shruti Haasan to the cast, the universe of this film is bigger and more developed. Manned by a brilliant technical team and GV Prakash Kumar composing and crisp cinematography, ‘Aakasamlo Oka Tara’ is set to be a motivating multi-lingual pan-Indian film slated for Summer ‘2026’ in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, and Hindi and has now screened its first look which plays up brawn over bravado.
